Ahoy, mateys! Once again, it be that day of the year. A day honoring a simpler time. A time of swashbuckling, and grog. Of wenches and grog. Of grog, and...I'm sure there be other things, but they ain't important.

Now, get yer Pirate Talk on, or I'll see you to Davy Jones Locker! (Well, just one of you, I guess. It's not a very big locker. And you'll have to spend the whole day in there.)_________________"Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?"~Final Fantasy VI

**Sails into the topic, at the head of a veritable fleet of ships, all prominently displaying the Jolly Roger. Said fleet comprises entirely of last year's successful keel haul - a scattering of one-man dinghies and skiffs, but a fleet nonetheless**

Fer this year, I be no Cap'n, but a Commodore! What acts of piracy be all of ye up to, on this day established according to rules set forth by the pirates Slappy and Chumbucket?_________________"Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?"~Final Fantasy VI

I may have fallen a bit behind schedule on actual acts o' piracy... what wi' the marathon comic-makin' and all... but I can still celebrate the occasion with a good ol'-fashioned sea shanty!

Yo ho ho! And a flagon o'...

*examines the contents of the mug*

...tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Also decaf? Yarr.

*takes a hearty quaff, then weaves back and forth piratically for a moment*

The tea shanties, they jes' don't have the same ring to 'em.

Ah well.

*salutes Commodore Shadow*

A fine fleet o' ships ye have thar, matey. Who be sailin' 'em?

If it's yer MagiTek minions, I hope they be proparrrly waterproofed._________________"The one concession a sane man will never yield the universe is that of considering it seriously."

Ahoy there! Aye, ye made it within the week, and that's what counts. And there be no rule sayin' a pirate can't make a comic, says I!

And as fer yer inquiry...aye, me crew be properly sealed to the sea, says...me. But sailing my fleet....they be not. Too much....er...ballast. They'd sink the ships if they tried! But some of the lot still wanted to join the fleet, and as Commodore, who was I to say "narr"?

**Meanwhile, 20 fathoms beneath the water line...**

Cap'n #37: This not be what I had in mind when accepting a command of me own.

**Each of the boats is tethered to a Knight, dragging the ships behind them from the ocean floor**

Cap'n #37: This be like flying kites, not commanding a vessel.

Cap'n #35: Hold yer voicebox! It be this or no participat'n at all!

Cap'n #37: Arr, there be more piractical things we could be doing! Like....dueling ninjas! And why sea pirates? Why not sky pirates? Or space pirates?_________________"Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?"~Final Fantasy VI

Avast, ye scurvy bilge rats! It still be that most nautical of days on some of the seven seas, so, get in the spirit! Sing some sea shanties, drink some grog, or pillage some defenseless port town!

As representatives of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, it be yer most solemn duty._________________"Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?"~Final Fantasy VI
